Abstract

Most building codes permit the use of elastic design methods for concrete slabs. These methods for small deflection theory of slabs are discussed, and then graphically complete distribution of principal bending moment contours and trajectories, and deflections are obtained for simply-supported and encastre slabs subject to uniformly distributed load. Destructive tests on simply supported slabs designed elastically, according to code requirements, and by the yield line method are then described.
